The federal government subsidizes health insurance for most Americans through various programs and tax provisions. The Congressional Budget Office and the staff of the Joint Committee on Taxation (JCT) regularly prepare baseline projections of the federal costs associated with each kind of subsidy and of the number of people with health insurance coverage through different sources. Those projections reflect the assumption that current laws governing taxes and spending generally remain unchanged. This report presents the latest of those projections, which, for the first time, reflect the entire population instead of only the civilian noninstitutionalized population younger than 65.
